easyCruise will add a second ship, easyCruise Life, to its fleet on a new seven-day cruise to the Greek Islands and Turkey.
From April 2008, easyCruise Life will cruise to six different Greek Islands, including Syros, Samos, Kalymnos, Kos, Paros and Mykonos for a 2- hour stay.
easyCruise will visit Turkey for the first time with a full day and night in Bodrum.
Customers can join the cruise in Athens on Saturday or in Bodrum on Monday.
easyCruise chairman Stelios Haji-Ioannou said: "The popularity of our 2007 season has proved that people are very keen to visit Greece and the surrounding islands and easyCruise Life will certainly cater for this demand."
easyCruiseOne will remain in Greece with its established weekend 'Aegean Escape' cruise featuring Poros, Mykonos, Paros and Sifnos.
A new itinerary 'Around the Ionian Sea' will cruise through the Corinth Canal to the islands of Ithaki, Paxos, Corfu, Kefallonia and Zakynothos.
The cruise will also call at Agioi Saranta in Albania.
Stelios added: "Our inclusion of a day in Albania opens up the opportunity to see a place you would normally not travel to but which offers such a great experience.
"Albania is starting to arouse people's interest. It's an exceptional country and from the port of Agioi Saranta we will offer tours to Butrint which is a superb world heritage site."
easyCruise sails for just a few hours each morning arriving at each destination at around lunchtime so that passengers can enjoy the rest of the day and night (until the next morning) ashore.
Like easyJet, prices generally rise as the ship fills up.
